The East Bend Library opened its doors in 2011 and is the newest addition to the Deschutes Public Library System. This library is located across from The Forum shopping center right off of Highway 20. The East Bend Library is a rented 8,000 square foot storefront designed by Jim Landin and BRLB/GGL Architects of Bend.

This small and mighty library offers full services such as books, music, and movies; public computers; a community meeting room and hosts library-sponsored lectures and presentations as well as story times; and an interactive Early Learning space for children. Several of the library’s programs for adults and children are offered in English and Spanish. Free WiFi is available throughout the building.

    Learn about parenting highly sensing (sensitive) children.

    This is an in-person program.

    High sensitivity is all about processing things deeply. if you have a child that seems overly concerned about others or her environment, reacts strongly to things others don’t worry about, gets distracted easily by noise and busyness around her, seems really picky and perfectionistic, she might be highly sensing (a personality trait, not a disorder).

    Highly Sensing children have different needs, as they have different reactions to the world that can seem too much for them. It’s important to be able to recognize sensitive responses and understand that your child may need things structured a bit differently, or at least be allowed to have responses that are different from those of other children.

    In this class, you’ll learn how to identify whether your child might be highly sensing, how to support him, and how to support yourself. If you’re not highly sensing yourself, you could become frustrated by his behavior or choices or opting out of activities and feel the need to control or set parameters that don’t help. You could feel exasperated and confused...We’ll address this and look at expectations and learn tips for making parenting easier to improve your relationship. Highly sensing children have great potential with acceptance and the right support. Let’s learn how to support them.

    About the Presenter: A Highly Sensing Person (HSP), Tammy understands what it's like to navigate the non-highly sensitive world. She uses a mind-body-spirit focus, the use of art and connection with nature, as well as mindful practices, meditation, energy work and EFT/tapping to help other HSPs to minimize overwhelm and develop self-compassion and self-love, and embrace their trait and move from surviving to thriving.

    She’s a best-selling contributing author, has an app for Highly Sensitivity, and a weekly tv series for HSPs. She works with clients in her home studio outside of Sunriver and online. All of her contact information and resources are found at https://linktr.ee/tammygoen. Direct email: tammy@coachtammygoen.com She offers consultation for HS parents and parents with HS children.

    Discuss The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz.

    From the New York Times bestselling author of The Plot (a Tonight Show Summer Read pick) and You Should Have Known, adapted as HBO's The Undoing, Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Latecomer is the story of three siblings, desperate to escape one another, and the upending of their family by the late arrival of a fourth. The Oppenheimer triplets have been reared with every advantage: wealth, education, and the determined attention of at least one of their parents. But neither Harrison (the smart one), Lewyn (the weird one) nor Sally (the girl) suspects the devastating event that first set their family in motion, or understands how fully it has already formed them. Now, on the verge of their departure for college and desperate to escape one another at last, the triplets are forced to contend with an unexpected complication: a fourth Oppenheimer sibling, formerly a leftover embryo from their own long ago in vitro genesis, has just been born. What has possessed their parents to make such an unfathomable decision? How can the triplets begin to imagine the impact this unwanted latecomer will have on their lives, and the ways she will work to bring them home?
